Oxygen atoms in a water molecule are partially negative, so the sodium ions (Na+) should be drawn to them... vice versa, the Hydrogen in a water molecule is partially positive... which should interact with the negatively charged chlorine (Cl-) ion.

What strengthens and helps to maintain the fluid nature of a cell regardless of temperature?

Amanda [17]

Cholesterol in Cell membrane strengthens and helps to maintain the fluid nature of a cell regardless of temperature

Explanation:

All organisms are made up of one or more cells. Each cell is protected or differentiated by a covering called as the cell membrane. Phospholipids are the basic structure of the cell membrane. Cholesterol prevents the loss of fluid from phospholipids.

Cell membrane has a lipid layer and cholesterol which is placed between the phospholipids to maintain the fluid nature of the cell under different temperature. Cholesterol prevents the cell from solidifying and helps maintain the fluid. Cholesterol actually acts as a buffer between different temperatures.

The question is the following :
What is the best evidence to prove that Irene was heterozygous for hemophilia?
A) Alice carried the recessive allele.
B) Alexandra carried the recessive allele.
C) Frederick carried the recessive allele.
D) Waldemar carried the recessive allele.

The correct answer is A

In the pedigree, marked with blue are the carriers of the X recessive allele ( they have one X that has the mutation and the other that doesn't).
Alice was Irene's' mother, and since both Alice and iIrene have the allele, it is safe to conclude that Irene inherited the recessive allele from Alice.

In a plasma membrane, how do the tails of the phospholipid molecules line up?

Nezavi [6.7K]

They are sandwiched between two layers of heads. Recall that the heads are hydrophilic therefore they will always be on the outside and the tails are hydrophobi therefore they willl always be away from water, there fore sandwiched. I'm a bio major, hope I helped :)
